Nintendo gave us a more concrete 3D product with the 3DS. Sony's can be enjoyed whether in 3D or not. Microsoft doesn't create technology to be revered in gaming, so really their opinion means nothing in the matter. When they start making technology then I might be able to take them seriously. Microsoft is a software company. They need to focus on acquiring top notch developers before their investors pull out like they are planning on doing already.


the thing is I take Microsot more serious than Sony regarding 3D, due to microsoft not having a product for 3D.

Sony is using its fanboys to try and push 3D on all of us, just like they did with blu ray.  I hate being used by a company.  They are pushing these 3D games becuase they want us to buy their 3D tvs, and then their 3D blu ray movies and so on.  And that list there is one thing that is common, involves buying and buying new stuff. 


You have a point and Sony did use the gamers to save their format, but 3D is inevitable and Nintendo showed us with their handheld that it can be taken seriously.


That is a Myth because even before HD DVD was released The Blu-Ray technology was already in consumer's hands 3 year's that's three year's prior to even the first HD DVD box hitting the consumer market. when all but One Consumer Electronic manuf. companies from the get go supported Blu-Ray over HD DVD's 2..that was Toshiba and Microsoft..it was not going to loose.

it would have been drawn out yes but there was no way HD DVD was going to win..as for the rumor that Warner BROS was paid off that also is just a myth because the WB was on the board of director's of Blu-Ray since the Blu-Ray founder's was started.

The Blu-ray Disc Founders (BDF) group was a collection of technology firms working together to develop and support the The Blu-ray Disc Founders was launched on May 20, 2002. As Blu-ray support grew progressively; announcements in 2004 added HP and dell which declared backing for the standard on January 12, 2004, and TDK on March 19, 2004. It announced that Blu-ray Disc Founders will shift to (BDA) in October on May 18, 2004. It shifted to Blu-ray Disc Association on October 4, 2004.

Sony was just one company in the lot of many that support Blu-Ray because the technology was already been on the consumer market since 2003.

that's the real reason why the technology already worked is one of the reason's Sony used it.

Blu-Ray was not just a sony format

Dude....Blu Ray had lower sales than HDDVD. It was after the PS3 launched and Sony made the rental exclusivity deal with Blockuster for Blu Ray as an alt HD format that BD made HDDVD a non-factor. It was never any other way until those things happened. Whether u like it or not the people were used. Sony knows their loyal market well.
